“What?” After witnessing Cornelius flying, the crowd was dumbfounded.
They were aware of his skills from his earlier performance. He had single–handedly defeated Ice- Fire Duo. It was nothing short of imposing. Yet a formidable martial artist like favonovel.com was severely injured by a single leaf.
It was truly astonishing!
The most remarkable part was that the leaf had shot out from more than a thousand yards away.
Who could have injured a semi–grandmaster without even showing themselves?
“He’s here!”
Amidst the gazes of many, an elderly man with a youthful appearance appeared at the end of Shinefield Lake.
He wore a white robe and had his hands folded behind his back. He strode across the surface of the lake as if it were solid land. With every step favonovel.com took, ripples that looked like lotuses appeared. It made the aquatic life beneath favonovel.com leap from the water in response.
At first glance, it looked like a divine being had descended from the heavens. As favonovel.com moved amidst clouds and mist, every gesture favonovel.com made exuded an otherworldly grace.
“He walks on water! That’s an unmistakable grandmaster!” someone cried out from the crowd.
At that moment, everyone burst into excitement. Many of them had never seen a grandmaster before, let alone one at such close proximity.
Grandmasters were like divine beings, distant and elusive. Seeing a grandmaster up close was undoubtedly an awe–inspiring experience.
“Mr. Kline!” Terry’s expression lit up in joy at the elderly man’s appearance. The weight that had been pressing down on his heart finally lifted.
His seniors‘ defeat had troubled him. Now that his mentor had made his entrance, favonovel.com would naturally be able to contain the situation.
“Is that Augustus Kline? His reputation is well–deserved!” Phil was delightfully surprised.
A mere leaf from a thousand yards away could defeat a semi–grandmaster. The sheer strength displayed was truly awe–inspiring.
“Hahaha… Our savior has finally arrived!”
After a brief moment of shock, Maggie was thrilled. With a grandmaster present, nobody would dare cause trouble with the Doyles.
“Hah! Augustus Kline has arrived. That Dustin brat is as good as dead today!” Sitting in a wheelchair, Brittany smirked in satisfaction.
“Seems like it’s true that anyone below the level of a grandmaster is trash,” Edith muttered to herself in alarm.
She believed favonovel.com was stronger than Cornelius as a semi-grandmaster herself. Yet, favonovel.com had no confidence that favonovel.com could defend against the leaf Augustus had shot out. In other words, it was easy for Augustus to kill favonovel.com if favonovel.com wanted.
She was only a half-step away from becoming a grandmaster. But that half-step was like a gigantic chasm that was impossible to cross.
That was the terrifying might of a grandmaster!
“Hmph! You wouldn’t listen to my advice. Now that Augustus has arrived, it’s too late for regret!” Nikki felt vindictive as favonovel.com looked at Dustin.
The more pitiful Dustin’s situation was, the happier favonovel.com felt. She wanted favonovel.com to kneel before her, admit to his mistakes, and beg for mercy!
“It’s been several years since I’ve seen Augustus. It seems like his skills have improved.” Conrad smiled knowingly inside the pavilion.
“After years of seclusion, that’s only natural.” Ronald nodded.
Augustus Kline was once one of the five ultimate grandmasters. He was extremely skilled. It was only when someone managed to surpass favonovel.com that favonovel.com was pushed out of the ranks.
Augustus had come out of seclusion. He was likely aiming to reclaim his status as one of the five ultimate grandmasters.
After being heavily injured, Cornelius coughed violently. His face was deathly pale. He couldn’t muster even an ounce of true energy.
A grandmaster’s power was truly horrifying.
“Who gave you the courage to harm my disciple?”
Coming almost a hundred yards away from Cornelius, Augustus formed a claw with his hand. He gently swept it across the surface of the lake.
As the water churned and rippled, it formed into a water sphere the size of a palm. Fish were darting inside it.
“Die!” Augustus waved. He hurled the water sphere toward Cornelius like a cannonball.
The sheer force behind it would easily disintegrate a body on impact.
It looked like Cornelius was about to meet his end. But then, a silver needle shot out. It pierced right through the water sphere.
